In 2002 we moved to our Gaston location. ADEA is also a custom-crush, alternating premise winery facility. Focusing on production of wines of Oregon’s premium terroir, vineyards including the Fisher estate, Yamhill-Carlton District AVA, are selected for superior fruit to express the varying soils, elevations, clones and microclimates. Vineyards in the Dundee Hills AVA, Chehalem Mountains AVA, McMinnville AVA and North Willamette Valley are extraordinary pieces to the ADEA brand. Close attention from harvest to bottle brings us to the goal in our winery.

Approximately 90% of the annual production is Pinot Noir with the remaining production limited to Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Barrels of Pinot Noir are selected to specifically fit to the bottlings for Dean-o’s, Reserve, Ann Sigrid, Willamette Valley and vineyard-designated labels.

On the personal level, more of the family is involved on a day-to-day basis. Erica is the assistant winemaker to Dean, and the grandchildren, Ocean, Forest and Katulla, are becoming quite the helpers especially during harvest.
